I see posts here all the time saying that a timing belt tensioner sounds like a rod knock, do a search for more information. I just did a 3 hour search 200 per page, I did not find a post that describes a timing belt tensioner knock.
So, what does it really sound like? How loud is it? Is it loud on a 3.2 DOHC engine?
'94, and '00 Amigos and '00, 01 Rodeos. Rodeo springs and aftermarket 'hard top on 94. Aisin hubs OME 919's on the 2000 Amigo. 2000 and 2001 Rodeos have OME 912's and Aisin. Smoother ride with the OME 919's???

It can be. My 93 DOHC was ticking sorta like that classic SOHC lifter tick for quite a while, then suddenly in Moab last May it got real loud, to where people thought engine death was imminent (although the worst that could happen is that the timing belt would jump a tooth and lose timing). We replaced the tensioner in the campground in a few hours.
The standard diagnosis is that the tick goes away at higher rpm, like above 2000 rpm.
